An Innovative New Security Camera Has a Solar Panel That Follows the Sun

I've tested solar panels for home security cameras before. Almost every brand has one nowadays, and they're an easy way to use wireless cams and keep their batteries full. But mounting those little solar panels in the right spot can be a pain, which is why I'm fascinated by Baseus S2's solution: A built-in solar panel that moves. This camera, currently available for preorder at $130, includes a solar panel on top similar to Eufy's model but with one big difference. This panel is designed to rot

5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s hard to blame anyone for feeling fed up with Google Nest cameras right now. The latest Nest Aware price hike means users will soon be paying up to $200 a year, with zero new features to show for it. That’s on top of already pricey hardware, limited local storage options, and a system that some feel might actually be getting worse rather than better.
